Mammoth Complex is a three-part essay series about my life in my body. Intro, Grade Eight: Features a teaser to 12-year-old Erica’s award-winning speech on liposuction, ill-advised tips on how to despair in front of the mirror, playground Hanson talk with the cool kids, and more. Read Here. Part One, Tiny and Adorable: A formative family trip to the zoo, the official definition of the Mammoth Complex, what it means to be Tiny and Adorable, are eating disorders really just about control, what is the impact of weightist relatives, plus thoughts on mayonnaise, thin privilege, fat days, mayonnaise, and rights to crying in public. Read Here Part Two, Liposuction 101: Erica’s entire award-winning speech on liposuction from 1998. Read Here Part Three, Bombshells: Pizza Night and the Bombshell Besties, adult purchases like standing desks and lip injections, our lost youth and cuteness from March of 2020, turkey necks, facial yoga, Botox, wisdom from my twelfth therapist, and jean boycotts. Read Here These essays may be triggering if you are actively struggling with eating disorder and body image issues. Please take care if you choose to read. And feel free to reach out with thoughts and feelings about your own Mammoth Complex. Thank you so much for supporting my writing.
